Not really though, he’s around 4 or 5 in terms of craziness and scumming as well as being red flag. Gong Yingxian, Yang Minxu, Yang Yuan, Zhou Zinxing, and even Yu Feng Cheng are not as scummy compared to Li Yu. Some of them just fall into cockiness category. Li Yu and Luo Yi are kind of 4 or 5, they are not as bad as Shao Qun or Song Juhan but their actions ain’t mild like either. Arguably Li Yu is the only one in 188 (from my memories), who committed non-con not once but twice (arguably almost 3).

Well, I still hate him cuz first time was MC really provoked him. But second time was out of line and considering he did it out of jealousy as well….and actually Liyu is an outsider too… MC and his brother’s business had nothing to do with him and actually it’s their father’s responsibility that both his son suffered. And he literally try to ruin his company with the idea that the creepy brother had been suggesting just after he r-worded him second time left me speechless. He is such a hypocrite who pretends to be good.
I realized he is the tamest red flag in all of 188 series's ML
